Pics coming if we can get a weekend without some dang rain here in VA, and yes that is definitely correct the the 2007 has a timing chain. Yay for that!

yes it does have a chain, but I would consider changing water pump in the near future. Several IS350 and GS350 owners (myself included) have had leaking pumps 80-100k miles. Not sure of the differences in the motor between the IS/GS and RX but it is definitely something to look into.

Sewell is showing 2007 RX350 to have a timing Belt not a chain!

From the 2007 Lexus RX350 Owner's Manual:

Timing Chain
The RX 350 is equipped with a timing chain that requires no periodic inspection.
Looks like there is a problem in the Sewell system. Perhaps that is the photo for a 2007 RX400h which still used the 3.3L engine and thus still had the timing belt. I see a similar mistake here:

I will drop them a PM.

Got an 07 RX350 with 30.100 mile for 22K. Private seller. Original owner. Cream puff in and out. Showroom condition. Was kept in a carpeted garage. Lexus service records. Crystal White. No Nav though. I was stoked when I found it and took it on the spot. Didn't even have it checked out.

Can't really speak for the price.
the manual (page 67) says RX350 is a timing chain, this probably doesn't need replacement, but I would make sure the chain isn't loose as it can come off and damage the parts near it which can be a disaster. I would also make sure that the water pump and spark plugs were done. Spark plugs are pain on RXs.
